About Event

Everyone says they want to meet someone "through friends," and we help make it happen. Grab a pal and join us for a dating event with a twist: everyone brings a great single friend for someone else to meet! Expect structured mini-dates, a lively after-party, and, as always, great friends-of friends.

​​Each ticket includes admission for 2 people (1 woman interested in men + 1 man interested in women). Your plus-one can be a platonic friend you think would be great for someone else, or a crush you'd like to find a cheeky way to spend time with... up to you! Attendees of this event must bring a single friend of the orientation they're interested in to gain admission.

Agenda:

  • ​7:00-7:20: Check-In (please arrive on time and with your plus-one for smooth check-in. Doors close promptly at 7:20.)

  • 7:30-9:00: Mini-Dates (Get 6-minute introductions each other person at the party)

  • 9:00-10:00: Cocktail Party (Think of this like the ultimate house party with friends: revisit earlier conversations, check back in with your plus-one, or make some new friends... up to you!)

Please arrive on time, as late arrivals will neither be admitted nor refunded. Beverages, including non-alcoholic options, will be available for purchase.​​

​​FAQs:

Q: Why do I have to bring a plus-one?

A:​ Practically, this ensures that our events are always gender-balanced and that everyone has been vetted by a friend. More broadly, however, it's our firm belief that even if you haven't met "your person" yet, you probably know someone who would be great for someone else. We want to meet them!

We also value the power of community. We don't believe that dating should be an isolated, anonymous experience, but rather an integrated and social one. If you're hoping to meet other people's great single friends, we require that you bring one for someone else to meet as well.

Q: What if I don't have anyone to bring?

​​A: We get that this might be a challenge, but we encourage you to keep your eyes open for great single friends you may have overlooked. Is there a college pal, coworker, or friend-of-a-friend you might not be thinking of? Try asking around, and you might be surprised by who wants to join you.

This should go without saying, but please only bring people you like and trust. If you wouldn't be happy to see a friend date them, please don't bring them. They don't have to be your best friend, but you should know them well enough to vouch for them.

Q: What age range is this event for?

​​A: This event is tailored for people in their late twenties to late thirties.

Q: What genders/orientations is this event for?

​​A: This event is is designed for those who identify as women interested in men or men interested in women. However, if you do not fall in either of these groups, take a look at the rest of our lineup--we regularly plan events for a more diverse array of identities!

Q: How many people will be there?

​​A: We cap this event at 30 guests. In keeping with our friends-of-friends ethos, we want this to feel like a house party: big enough that you'll meet plenty of new people, but small enough to feel intimate.

​​Q: What is your refund policy?

​​A: No refunds will be granted. You are responsible for finding your own plus-one, and you will be neither refunded nor granted admission if you arrive without an appropriate plus-one.

By attending this event, you understand that you may be photographed or otherwise recorded, and that we may use this material for our marketing, promotional, or related purposes. By signing up for this event you agree to receive email communication from Met Through Friends. You can opt out of these any time.
